The Given line graph reveals how much domestic waste was recycled in the UK, France and Germany from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, both the countries witnessed a constant and steady increase in its recycling rates however France experienced a downward trend.
In detail, over the given period UK and Germany showed their continuous efforts in increasing their ability to improve recycling rate. In 2005, 35% waste was reused by people at home in the UK which was 15% more than Germany’s efforts. After struggling to increase their percentage of recycling from 2007 to 2009, where the rate was constant, the percentage surged to 60% till 2015. However, there was consistency in the growth of reusing household waste in Germany and in a decade it almost touched the rates that were in the UK.
In contrast, France performed poorly over the time. Despite having the highest proportion of recycling domestic waste in 2005, it dramatically came down to 40% 2013. At last it tried to recover but managed only a 10% increase in the next two years.

The provided line graph compares the percentage of recycling of domestic waste in the UK, France and Germany from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, the recycling rate of household waste increased in the UK and Germany but decreased in France.
In detail, it is explicit from the graph that people in the UK reused 35% of the domestic waste in 2005. After a 5% increase, this value remained constant for two years. In the next 6 years this valve dramatically surged to more than 60%. Germany, on the other hand, recycled merely 20% domestic waste in the beginning but this value continuously grew and reached 56% in 2015. However the biggest rise was witnessed between 2009 and 2012.
In contrast, France was in first position in recycling domestic waste in 2005. However, the rate steadily decreased to 40% till 2013 after crossing the rate of the UK in 2008 and that of Germany in 2009. Although at the end, the rate inclined by 10%.

The line graph illustrates the regional household recycling rates in the UK, France, and Germany from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, the recycling rates of the UK and Germany showed a steady but significant rise over the period, while the percentage of recycled waste in France experienced a downward trend.
In 2005 the recycling rates of the UK and Germany were nearly 35% and 20% respectively. Germany’s rate increased sharply throughout the period, exceeding France’s rate in 2009 and reaching almost 60% at the end of the period. In the meantime, the percentage of recycled waste in the UK grew to 40% in 2007 and then remained steady until 2009. During 2009-2011 it experienced a rapid surge to more than 50% and continued with a gradual increase to 60% in 2015.
In early 2005 the recycling rate of France (50%) was the highest among these three countries. However, it dramatically declined to 30% in 2013. Then, there was a growth of 10% in 2015, but France’s recycling rate was the lowest at the end of the period.
